Sažetak
Accordin to the Rose report (2009), dyslexia is a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling. The main characteristics of dyslexia are difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed. Early signs of dyslexia can be recognized in pre-school age and they include word mispronunciation, limited vocabulary, poor rhyming skills and difficulty in following instructions. The formal diagnosis of dyslexia can be made after the first grade therefore it is crucial that class teachers are able to recognize the early signs of dyslexia. This is important for early diagnosis and intervention which are key factors for successful integration of students with dyslexia. The quality of class teachers’ education in Croatia has been the aim of several research (e.g. Erdeljac & Franc, 2012 ; Fišer & Dumančić, 2014 ; Kaldonek-Crnjaković & Fišer, 2016 ; Kuvač i Vancaš, 2003 ; Radetić Paić, 2015). The results have implied that participants’ teaching practice is not entirely inclusive and that the curriculum of Faculties of Teacher Education should include modules on special education. The present research confirmed the same shortcomings in the education of preservice teachers of University of Josip Juraj Strossmayer in Osijek who have not participated in such a study yet. 65 students of final year of Class Teacher Studies at ‘Josip Juraj Strossmayer’ University of Osijek and its branch department in Slavonski Brod participated in the study. The analysis of the gathered data revealed that more than half of the participants estimated they would not be adequately qualified to teach students with dyslexia. They also reported that the internet was a leading source of information about dyslexia and that they were willing to undergo further education to learn more about how to teach students with dyslexia.
